Dan,

CANNES, France (Reuters) - U.S. microprocessor group Intel Corp (Nasdaq:INTC - news) will officially launch its new Pentium III product on Feb. 26 following a big Feb. 17 preview event in San Jose, Calif.

An Intel spokeswoman said Thursday that after the launch date computer manufacturers would have PCs with Pentium III available for sale.

She added that Intel had not yet decided on the pricing of the Pentium III but that it should be the mainstream product of the company by the end of 1999.

The Pentium III will be launched with clock rates of 450 to 500 megahertz. Intel aims to boost the clock rates of its products to one gigahertz, but the spokeswoman said it was not sure whether this would be a Pentium III version or another product.

This now places the Pentium behind the latest PowerPC in processor power for sure. Maybe the Mysterious Merced will save the day, bundled with the latest outbreak of Windows.

Might be a good year for IBM if they start pumping out PowerPC-based servers which can outperform any Wintel offering for the same price. This year IBM should begin leaning on MSFT until they squeal.

Cheers,

Norm
